Accessorize
The devil is in the details. You might have the hottest Mac desktop on the block, but it's nothing unless it’s fully accessorized. So load up.
Small Is Beautiful
$69; PFU Systems
If you bought a Mac mini to save space, why are you still using a full-size keyboard? The PFU Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite 2’s long name belies its mini-matching size: only 11.6 by 4.7 inches. Yet the keys are the same size as a standard keyboard’s, and it even includes standard arrow keys. The only drawback is a slightly modified layout that places a few keys in nonstandard locations, but it doesn’t take long to get used to.— Dan Frakes
More for the Mac Mini
mini Tower, $45; mini Grandstand, $40; mini Skirt, $25; The Plasticsmith
It didn’t take long for Plasticsmith’s Mac mini- focused accessories to hit the market. The clear acrylic mini Tower lets you mount your mini on its side for an even smaller footprint. The mini Grandstand is a monitor stand just tall enough to let you store your mini underneath. And the mini Skirt—well, it just looks cool (and we love the name).— Dan Frakes
All-Around Headset
$100 (see Best Current Price ); Jabra
A Bluetooth headset is great for wireless, hands-free conversation using your mobile phone, and it’s a perfect match for iChat audio and video conversations on your Bluetooth-enabled Mac. The Jabra BT250 provides good sound, a comfortable fit, and a 30-foot range.— Dan Frakes
G5 Gear
G5 Rooftop, $65; G5 Skate, $115; Power Support
Power Support’s G5 Rooftop turns the top of the G5 into a flat shelf for peripherals and lets you hide low-profile peripherals (such as a USB hub or an Internet router) underneath. To make your G5 more mobile, add a G5 Skate—it’s a lot easier to push around 45 pounds of computing power than to carry them.— Dan Frakes
